What is this "social acceptance" you speak of? Is it defined by some authority? How is it measured?
I'm not trying to be snarky, I've just been listening to A Human's Guide to Words and this term doesn't feel well defined.
In terms of HGW, the concept is too complex for an intrinsic definition, but there is this thing that exists in the social dynamic that can be pointed out and named as "social acceptance".
Call it SA(behaviour). ~SA(b) predicts Ostracized(Perpetrator(b)) and related phenomenon with higher probability than SA(b), which in turn predicts Encouraged(Perpetrator(b)).
